Children have to have consistency in their lives. My step-son has always been an A/B student, even while playing softball and football in school. When his mother started to receive visitation his grades started to slip. He started getting zero's on the days after his stay with her. We thought giving her overnight visits two nights a week would help the transition for the children to get to know her, but it may have backfired. My stepson is in his fifth week of counciling due to not only the grades but also lying. It is like he doesn't feel like he belongs at either home. The mother refused to even consider some of the "rules" we have in our home and now my stepson is suffering. Luckly my stepdaughter does not follow in her brothers footsteps and sticks to studying and completing homework. She also has an easier time communicating her displeasure with things happening at her mothers home, my stepson keeps everything inside. Ok, I have to make a comment about this one.
